San Francisco, Dec 07 The
global barge
transportation market size is anticipated to reach USD 140.62
billion by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., rising
at a CAGR of 3.4% during the forecast period.
The
market is projected to witness significant growth over the forecast period,
thanks to growing intermodal transportation in several industries including
petrochemicals, crude oil, and food processing. Several initiatives undertaken
by various governments to encourage inland water transport and continued
investments being made by various governments to develop inland water transport
infrastructure. North America is expected to offer tremendous growth
opportunities for the barge transportation market owing to presence of several
barge manufacturers and service providers, growing exports and imports, and
abundance of waterways.
Barge
transportation can be considered a cost-effective and high-capacity mode of
transportation as compared to other modes of transport, such as road, rail, and
air. Barges can support higher loads and ensure safety, particularly when it
comes to transportation of large volumes of cargos. As a result, adoption of
barges is expected to increase over the forecast period.
Increasing
spending on research and development activities and subsequent advancements in
technology are resulting in development of technologically advanced barges.
LNG-fired barges are emerging as an environmentally-friendly alternative for
conventional barges powered by diesel engines. Advancements in communication
and navigation technologies coupled with growing adoption of IoT and other
smart technologies are triggering the efficiency and safety factor of barges.
The
barge transportation market remains highly vulnerable to developments in the
end-use industries, particularly the crude oil and petrochemicals industries.
The growth in the petrochemical industry and emerging opportunities in ethanol
production are expected to positively influence the growth of the market. For
instance, Kirby Corporation has recently acquired Higman Marine, Inc. owing to
increasing opportunities in petrochemical and ethanol transportation
activities.
